All New Inside

All new inside
People come to me constantly / and sadly ask/ can we do anything for you?/ I just look/ into their concerned eyes/ And am hard-pressed to explain// Even though I’m in a good mood/ because everything is all new inside/ Maybe it doesn’t look like that from the outside/ but everything is new on the inside / and I am ok!// I’m constantly accused / of the same thing / that I’ve been letting myself go / how I’m burned out / and totally fucked up / how I should not be offended / or misunderstand all this// Even when nobody believes in me / everything is all new inside/ I only look like shit from the outside/ and I’m ok/ I’m ok/ Since I’ve started going/ to Bible class// Good advice from so-called friends / is slowly but surely making me aggressive/ everybody permanently wants to help me / in a loving way/ I quietly count to ten/ so I don’t explode// Listen to me, damn you/ everything is all new inside/ and I feel wonderful/ because everything is all new inside/ Even if nobody seems to understand it/ everything is all new inside/ you should really have a look inside me/ because everything is all new inside/ and I’m ok/ Yes, I’m ok/ Since I’ve started going/ to Bible class// I’m ok/ I have found my centre/ and won’t let anyone yank me off balance (literally: won’t let anyone take me out of it).
